Ireland's Future

In few weeks, perhaps in a few days,
Ireland will be in the condition into
which It was designed by the coercion
bill that the people Of that unhappy
country should be plunged. There will
be wholesale evictiO1s on the one hand
and determined resistance on the other
arrests Of Irish leaders by the score,
perhaps by the hundred, and all the sur
rOundiBgs and conditions and outIages
and suffering OF state of anarchy deIib-
erately planned by the English govern
ment to be precipitated in the name of
the Queen in her Jubilee year.
Fortunately the contemplated crime
cannot be committed in secret All the
world is looking toward Ireland to-day
with sympathy like that aroused by
Mr., Gladstone in England few years
ago i'll behalf of Bulgaria. 1t is not
alone the eyes Of spies and policemen
that are looking at what is happening
in Ireland. AT Coolgrardy, where tn e

GOVERNOR JOHN 4. MARTIN, OF
Kansas, is engaged in a curious contro-
versy with some OF the opponents of en-
forced teetotalism in regard TO the effect
OF the Prohibition policy on be mater
lal Interests OF that State. On the part
or some OveT-Zealous enemies of Prohib-
itiOn 1t is cOntended that this system has
retarded the growth and prosperity of
Kansas. Governor Martin, to meet
this sort of assertion, presents an array
OF statistics 10 show how rapidly Kan
sas has increased in population in the
brief period since Prohibition became a
Law. Il is probable that Prohibition
has had no influence in this respect in
one way or another. Kansas has march
ed forward Slth amazing rapidity ever
since It's organization as a Territory.
Even the conflicts over the slavery ques-
tion that marked lis early history did
not seriously retard the growth OF Kan
sSs. IL Prohibition should be SO rigor-
ously enforced that the people would be
unable 10 obtain liquors il might be
possible TO form some estimate of the
Influence ot this system upon their ma
terial and moral prosperity. But such
notorlously has not been the case.

migration To Kansas is not, therefore
likely TO be materially retarded merely
because Prohibition has changed the
method of liquor supply Many Ger
man Immigrants are no doubt incommo-
ded by a fanatical policy that discrimin-
ates against their favorite beer, but this
fact has not influenced many of them in
making choice of homes, weighed as il
WAS agaihs. The advantages of fertile
soil and salubrIOus climate. On the
otter hand, il not probable that immi-
grafton to Kansas has been promoted in
the least by the prohibitory liquor policy,
as Governor Martin pretends. The pol
icy has not been iD operation long
enough in Kansas to permit any conclu
sions to be drawn in regard to lis effects
for good or evil. Therefore the asser-
tions on each side as to the influence OF
Prohibition on the grownh of the State
are utterly devoid of weight. The pop.
ulation Of Maine actually declined be
tween 1860 and 1870, and is nearly at a
